EBWR suggests e-bike business paradigm shifts may be underway. Paradigm shift 1:Auto makers, and auto suppliers, are entering the two-wheel business with expanded technology and marketing options.

Paradigm Shift 2:The collision avoidance technology explosion in the four-wheel market will be adapted to e-bikes making them virtually collision free eventually. E-bike sales will then explode also.

Paradigm Shift 3: Jay Townley, noted bike consultant, proposes a way for independent bike dealers to be more customer centric thus stronger, a provocative shift (articles both in EBWR 2015 and 2016).
